&lt;p&gt;Many people don&amp;rsquo;t live to see their 70th birthdays.  I&amp;rsquo;m one of the lucky ones you might say.   We do become more reflective as we age and this birthday finds me looking back over the years.  You may ask what has living all these years brought my way?   Surely, it&amp;rsquo;s brought what life brings to everyone of  us - ups and downs,  joys and sorrows,  good and bad experiences, and so much more along the way.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Seascapes</title><link>/posts/seascapes/</link><pubDate>Thu, 01 Aug 2013 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/posts/seascapes/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;[caption id=&amp;ldquo;attachment_1150&amp;rdquo; align=&amp;ldquo;aligncenter&amp;rdquo; width=&amp;ldquo;584&amp;rdquo; caption=&amp;ldquo;Barbados Beaches&amp;rdquo;]&lt;a href="https://photos.smugmug.com/Lateblooms/n-ZkfX3Q/2013/Seascapes/i-WpFWj2Z/0/KTkT2TR8R2gjvhmwtXWj4WWkZPQbGVnJ3Q5g25WsR/D/Barbados-Beaches-Step-on-to-Sandy-Beaches-D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img loading="lazy" src="https://jeanjankisamaroo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Barbados-Beaches-Step-on-to-Sandy-Beaches-1024x576.jpg" title="Barbados Beaches (Step on to Sandy Beaches)"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;[/caption]&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tomorrow will be exactly one month since I returned from an amazing time in Barbados where I attended a beautiful wedding.   Not too many settings can compare with the sea for words of love and vows of love. &amp;quot; &lt;em&gt;Each human life is the journey from childhood to a realized adult life.  Each day is a journey out of darkness into light.  Each friendship and love is the intimate journey where the soul is born and grows.  The journey is the drama of the heart&amp;rsquo;s voyage into the tide of possibilities which opens before it&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;quot; (John O&amp;rsquo;Donohue)&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
